Automated Liquid Handling

Ideal for the preparation and distribution of samples and controls, the Air FCA's interdependent pipetting channels can access any tube or well configuration, with automatic adjustment of tip-spacing between labware formats. High-definition liquid handling and air displacement technology ensures precision and accuracy over a wide dynamic range, from sub-microliter to milliliter volumes. Patented Adaptive Signal Technology precisely detects even small volumes, enables accurate monitoring of liquid, and allows the use of smaller reagent and sample volumes for dramatic cost savings. Each pipetting channel is protected by an inline filter that prevents liquid being drawn into the channel. The eight independent channels are equipped with disposable tips and a low disposable ejection option to eliminate splashing or aerosol during tip ejection.
